a few more cool properties on or around Hawthorne Street, New Bedford MA

Good morning, and have a good weekend.

Today I will share a few photos from a walk I took down Hawthorn Street, here in New Bedford.

As I wrote that and was prompted by a comment I just replied to, I got intrigued about the origin of the name of Hawthorn and looked it up

Hawthorn Street in New Bedford, Massachusetts, is part of the historic West End and County Street neighborhood, where thoroughfares were traditionally named after prominent local whaling merchants, land-owning families, or botanical and topographical themes common in 19th-century New England urban planning.
And Hawthorn comes from the botanical side, deriving from the Old English haegporn, referring to the thorny hawthorn shrub traditionally used for English country hedges and property boundaries.

And the other thing that came to mind is to relate to how I often walk these streets a little while after sunrise, for better light to capture these properties, which I had not done for quite a while, and I had to adjust my way of taking photos, shooting mostly before nd during sunrise. I mostly used a tripod and often shot three shots at different exposures for a High Dynamic range result.

Shooting handheld and in different light got me back into thinking more of the settings as I walked .

Some houses are wide open to view, but others have many trees, and in tis case a fence making capturing there beauty a challenge, I took this looking in the driveway, of course I could have got a better view if I walked in the driveway, but thats not something that I think is a good idea especially early morning
